Mr Wu’s Mini Buffet

In error I once decided that a £5 all you can eat buffet was exactly what my stomach needed at 3am on a Friday night and I headed here - its open quite late but not all night and positioned sandwiched between a host of other Chinese restaurant in London’s famous China town in Soho. This is essentially a grimy old white kitchen atmosphere with the most basic of wooden tables, paper table clothes and a round buffet sitting in the window offering the very very most basic of Chinese food stuff - much of it cold with the bad ends of the vegetables in the dishes and meat which has been pumped with water to over inflate it and give in no flavour. I munch away only to realise that my fingers are permanently stained yellow from all the food colouring in the mini spring rolls and its then that my stomach begins to turn.

For the cheapest of the cheap I suppose you get what you pay for, the throw away meals of the other Chinese restaurants in the area at rock bottom prices. I’ll be honest and say steer clear at all costs, if you must have Mr Wu’s head up to the one on shaftesbury avenue which at the least looks a lot nicer inside even if it is double the cost. Perhaps this is venue of convenience - you can conveniently stuff your face with food poisoning - yay! 2/10
